The Hives vs. ELO

The Hives just came out with a new single called “Go Right Ahead”. Go right ahead and check it out next to ELO‘s classic “Don’t Bring Me Down”.

UPDATE:
Thanks for the tip from Travis. According to the wikipedia page for “Go Right Ahead” The Hives contacted ELO for permission to use the “Don’t Bring Me Down” melody.

Small sections of the song bears similarity to British group Electric Light Orchestra’s (ELO) “Don’t Bring Me Down”. However, it should be noted that The Hives contacted and received permission from ELO’s songwriter, Jeff Lynne, to use the similar riff. – wikipedia
